Civil Servant HunterâS S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 282
Side story 3. Hope

What does it feel like to remember your own death?
Even if you experience just one major accident, you are bound to suffer from pain for a long time, but if you vividly remember the sensation of the moment you lost your breath.
That is, if you remember not just one or two, but all five deaths.
Kang Se-jun is the only person in this world who remembers his own death.
There was not even a single peaceful death. He was murdered all five times.
No matter how many times he went through something he had never experienced before, he did not give up.
Even though the terrible memories swept over him like a huge wave, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Even in the midst of terrible despair, he stubbornly continued his life.
With the hope that someday I will be able to grasp the light that will drive away all this despair.

Fazizik!
The entire green lake flashed with the electricity that erupted from Kang Se-junâs whole body.
Soon, dozens of underwater monsters floated on the bubbling surface of the water.
Some of the hippopotamus-like creatures wriggled their legs as if they were still alive, but they soon became limp.
Only after confirming that everything in sight was dead did Kang Se-jun pull out his hand from the water. The outer surface of the protective shield around my hand was slightly melted.
If it hadnât been for the thick wrapping, I would have seriously injured my hand.
âThe acid is very strong. Indeed, it wonât be easy to catch a monster.â
âThatâs why weâve just kept it locked up for over ten years and havenât been able to resolve it.â
The answer I didnât want came back in a muttering that was almost like talking to myself.
Kang Se-jun turned around with a not-so-scary look on his face.
âLooking at it, you donât really need it, so why on earth did you come all the way to Turkey?â
âThere is no reason for me to stay in China.â
The person who answered calmly was none other than Wei Hu.
His still gloomy face was not very likable. You will probably never develop a crush in your life.
The reason Kang Se-jun came to Turkey was all because of Seo-raâs request. As magic power gradually disappeared from the Earth, the number of awakened people and gates was gradually decreasing.
However, during this process, an unexpected problem arose.
The point is that special item locks and keys do not work at all.
Unlike other items, those two items were created by the designer, so they cannot be used properly on Earth, where the designerâs net no longer exists.
It would be a big deal if the lock blocking the dungeon suddenly disappeared one day, so Seo-ra informed WDO that they had to conquer all remaining lock dungeons before that.
Thus began the operation to attack the lock dungeon, centered around L-class players from around the world.
First, Director Oliver identified the characteristics of each lock dungeon and then dispatched the L-class that was most compatible with the dungeon.
Sejun Kang was in charge of the acid lake dungeon in Türkiye. Although it was the most dangerous among lock dungeons, it was not that difficult for him as he could use a shield and attack both from afar and close range.
The problem is that it ended up coming with the most annoying wee-hoo.
Kang Se-jun still hasnât forgotten how he tried to kill Yoon Seo-ra.
âWhy on earth did President Oliver send you here? Are you compatible with this place?â
âIf you turn your body into a shadow, you can fight without going into the water. Besides, Iâm the only one who can attack enemies while avoiding your wide-area magic.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even Kang Se-jun, who clearly didnât like him very much, couldnât deny that much.
His abilities are good to use in many ways, and he actually fought quite well in the labyrinth by helping Yoon Seo-ra.
Itâs difficult when you become an enemy.
âYouâre giving it too much away to hate me.â
Wei Hu was silent for a moment and continued speaking darkly. It was a depressing voice that made you think that anyone who heard it would be sad.
âIs there a reason why I should like you? âAm I the one who secretly tried to kill Yoon Seo-ra in the dungeon?â
Even now, when I think of that time, my heart aches.
What if Yoon Seo-ra died there? And what if the gate closed and even her body could never be found?
Of course, Rize, who was a system administrator, was by her side at that time, so something like that would never have happened, but I canât help but think of the worst case scenario over and over again.
Because he knows how different the five lives without Yoon Seo-ra are from the sixth life she survived.
If it werenât for Yoon Seo-ra, this life would have failed and I would have lived my seventh life like that.
â¦Will there really be Yoon Seo-ra in the next life? For Kang Se-jun, who was forced to repeat his life without her several times because of the monster on the 11th floor of the labyrinth, this event remained a significant trauma.
Because life without Yoon Seo-ra is truly a day of hopelessness and despair.
âIf you put it that way, I guess I have nothing to say. âI canât help it even if I donât believe it, but I still regret what happened that day.â
Wei Huâs voice became depressed. The tone was not as gloomy as usual, but truly regretful.
âYou should regret it. âIf you had said you had no regrets, you would have been floating in that lake too.â
Kang Se-jun gritted his teeth and pointed to the lake. Wei Hu nodded silently.
âDonât worry. âYoon Seo-ra forgave me for what happened back then, but I will atone for the rest of my life.â
âWait what? âYoon Seo-ra forgave me?â
Kang Se-jun raised his eyes. I havenât heard anything like that?
âHmm, didnât you know? âNot long ago, Seo-ra Yoon came to see the president.â
ââ¦what?â
Who is Yoon Seo-ra visiting?
âI guess you really didnât know. A few months ago, I came to the comment room alone. I guess he used his mobility ability, but it wasnât recorded on CCTV at all. âThey ignored the protective shield put in place by the police and came in.â
âThis crazyâ¦â
Kang Se-jun covered his forehead.
Iâll be amazed. A few years ago, I tried to stop Yoon Seo-ra from attacking the presidentâs office, but I really didnât know she would actually do it.
No, Rize. What on earth did this man do instead of stopping Yoon Seo-ra?
âYoon Seora was alone? âWasnât there an unlucky-looking man with platinum-blond hair?â
âAs for the unlucky-looking man, are you talking about the man that Seo-ra Yoon hangs around these days? The one I saw on the 11th floor of the labyrinthâ¦.â
âYes.â
âI was curious about that too, so I asked him why he was alone today, and he said that if he had brought that man with him, I would have already become a corpse. âIt looks like that man is also planning to kill me.â
Wei Hu muttered sullenly.
Surely that man would hate Yuhu more than himself. He must have been clearly watching Yoon Seo-ra being beaten by that guy.
âSeeing as there wasnât any fuss, I guess it was resolved well.â
âHmm⦠The President was a bit angry, but I donât know how they did it, but Yoon Seo-ra holds evidence that China tried to kill her. âI ended up apologizing because Iâm the one who gets in trouble when I face the worldâs hero.â
âWhy on earth did you forgive me so easily?â
If you are the current Yoon Seo-ra, wiping out a country is not a task. Moreover, next to him is Rize, the strongest person on Earth.
However, Kang Se-jun could not say anything more after hearing Wei Huâs words.
âThe terrible fight has barely ended, but they donât want the world to be swept up in fire again.â
ââ¦.â
âI said I would turn a blind eye to a little resentment since I got the revenge I wanted the most. âIâm saying that Iâm happy with the current peace rather than giving in to such resentment.â
Seo-ra Yoon wanted peace more than anyone else. Now that he has taken revenge on both the enemy who killed his parents and the enemy who killed him five times, it would be natural for him to want to live happily.
Moreover, doesnât she have a lover by her side?
If Yoon Seo-ra chose peace, Kang Se-jun also had no intention of saying anything more about it.
âWe canât defeat her by force anyway, so China ended the conversation by cooperating until all gates disappear. Even after that, we will never touch anyone around Yoon Seo-ra. âItâs clearly documented, so you donât have to worry.â
âDonât worry or anything. âIf it were Yoon Seo-ra, she would have definitely accepted the agreement thoroughly.â
However, Kang Se-jun was a little disappointed. Itâs not a big deal, so why didnât you tell me?
Rize probably knows, but does Song Hanna know too? What about Seong Ja-rim?
I guess Iâll have to call as soon as I get out of the dungeon.
âI havenât seen Yoon Seo-ra since then. Are you doing well?â
âLive well. âYour face has gained weight and is very pale.â
âThank goodness. I often want to go see Yoon Seo-ra, but I canât because Iâm scared of the man next to her. âIâm scared of dying too.â
Yuhu muttered gloomily again.
Kang Se-jun was taken aback because his sullen face looked really sad. Anyone who sees you will think you have lost a family member. Since when did you get that kind of face just because you were so close to Yoon Seo-ra?
âWhy donât you at least call me?â
âMaybe they blocked my number because they didnât answerâ¦â
Even though Yoon Seo-ra sometimes did petty things, she wasnât narrow-minded enough to block the number of the person she forgave.
So, there was a very high probability that that was something Rize did.
âOh, instead, can I call you whenever Iâm curious about Yoon Seo-raâs well-being? Itâs difficult because Seong Ja-rim is just as scared as that man, but if itâs youâ¦â
âI hate you too!â
The man suddenly raised his head with a look on his face that said he had a good idea. Kang Se-jun was shocked. Rize and Seong Ja-rim are scary, but am I easy?
âI donât want anything else. Just let me know how Yoon Seo-ra is doing. Sometimes, when you two meet, you can call me. âI will receive your contact at any time.â
âI donât like it!â
Kang Se-jun, who tried to shake off Wei-hu who was desperately clinging to him, flew to the other side of the lake and ran away.
However, Weihu, who was also good at tracking, immediately turned into a shadow and chased after him.
In a cave filled with shadows everywhere, even Kang Se-jun could not easily avoid Wei Hu.
Therefore, he ultimately chose to quickly kill the boss monster and run out of the dungeon.
Although he lived six lives, this was the first time he ran away from his opponent.
In life, we go through all sorts of things.
